I’m lucky that many of my friends and connections already have kids, and I turn to social media whenever I’m in a pinch. Last week I caught myself doing something that burns my cheese when others do it, and had a little “Of course!” moment.

My dad’s cooking meant a lot to him, and he did it to share his love and life with the people who mattered most. And he didn’t need my mom sniping at him and shoving jarred pasta sauce into his hand to make him do it.

It shouldn’t take a tragedy to remind us that life is precious and sudden and that we probably take our loved ones for granted, but such is often the case and it certainly is now. My heart broke for Jennifer Perillo when she lost her husband, so I made a pie with mine to offer my love and in celebration of Mikey’s life.

As a passionate social media practitioner, I would be remiss if I hadn’t already given lots of thought to my child’s social media presence. It’s no easy to task to answer questions like, “Will he tweet from the womb?”
